Hotdogs from Big Brother has returned to TV


He rose to fame back in 2005 when he appeared in the fifth season of Big Brother Australia.

But now it appears Hotdogs is back after eagle eyed fans spotted him in last night’s episode of House Rules.

The former reality star — whose real name is Simon Deering — set social media fans into a frenzy when he appeared as a local property expert on the show, to give a valuation for a recently renovated house.

His unexpected cameo was both a shock and delight to former BB fans who recognised him from his time inside the Big Brother house.

Simon, who had a brief stint in television after his Big Brother appearance hosting The Up-Late Game Show, was best known during his reality days for streaking through the garden naked.

He was so popular that Cleo magazine, which has now sadly folded, asked him to pose nude.

After becoming the 11th evictee that year, he was arrested, charged and later fined $1000 for urinating outside a nightclub in Cairns.

These days though, it seems he’s a happily married dad-of-two who has left his moment in the spotlight far behind.
